This year's "Prix de Soleure", the main award of the Solothurn Film Festival, was presented on January 26 to the Italian-Swiss director Petra Volpe for her film "Die göttliche Ordnung" (The divine order), a comedy about the struggle for gender equality in Switzerland. The Solothurn festival is considered the most important festival for Swiss film productions. Here the audience can meet members of the film industry in panel discussions.

Most Swiss films, from feature films to short films and documentaries, are financed through public funding. In recent years more and more film makers have been entering the market, making it harder for producers to secure financing.

Title: Ticino cracks down on harmful particles
Runtime: 1:51

Description: Strict measures have been introduced to counter high levels of dust particles in canton Ticino in southern Switzerland. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)

High atmospheric pressure over the area since Friday has led to greater concentration of tiny airborne dust particles known as PM10. These particles usually arise from deteriorating tyres and roads as well as forms of gas.

According to the Federal Office for the Environment, exposure to such air pollution in cities and developed areas near main roads can negatively impact human health, travelling through the lungs, lymphatic system and bloodstream and causing breathing difficulties and even lung cancer.

Speed limits have been enforced on motorways and people have been encouraged to use public transport. People are asked not to have chimney fires and there is a ban on wood-burning fires in the open air.
